Introduction
Legal professionals spend a significant amount of time recording billable hours and preparing invoices. These repetitive administrative tasks can reduce productivity and increase the risk of human error. To address this challenge, Axpire, in partnership with LSG, introduced Bilr, an AI-powered solution designed to simplify time tracking and invoice generation using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Bilr enables legal teams to record their work in plain language while automatically converting it into accurate billing entries, helping firms save time and improve operational efficiency.
What Is Bilr?
Bilr is an intelligent time-recording and invoice creation tool that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automate legal billing tasks.
Instead of manually entering time records, users can simply describe the work they performed in everyday language. Bilr analyzes the information, identifies billable activities, and creates structured time entries ready for invoicing.
How Natural Language Processing Works
Natural Language Processing allows Bilr to understand written or spoken language much like a human would.
For example, if a lawyer enters:
“Reviewed client contract, attended a one-hour meeting, and prepared legal documents.”
Bilr can automatically recognize the activities, estimate billable time, categorize the work, and generate professional billing records.
